They also have a book like this about the USS Enterprise. It covers NX-01, NCC-1701, and -A, -B, -C, -D, and -E.

I love how they're based on Haynes books. My dad always had a Haynes book for the car he owned at the time._________________http://taralbooks.blogspot.ca

Actually, I think they're made in conjunction with Haynes, too._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

I have a question. How can a book that is essentially a technical manual contain spoilers? 'This modified YT-1300 contains contains components from a Sienar model AA23 hyperdrive. This is at odds with the original Correllian hyperdrive installed'._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

The spoilers are about the content of the manual _________________"Strong you are with the dark side, young one. But not that strong.
Still much to learn, you have. Surrender, you should."

"You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."

But seriously, the manual is a pretty cool book. I liked that it showed what all the controls in the cockpit do. It even named all the pieces on the dejarik board.

Suvudu did an interview with Ryder Windham that you can check out here. He talks about the book._________________

I think we just forgot to take that out when we copied the format of our last review.

Fixed now.

Picked this book up today. Love it. A much better effort than the Enterprise (Star Trek) volume last year.
